And personally tastefulness is not something I look for in art. Xenoblade was only "tasteful" in that it played it completely safe. As far as I'm concerned, all Nintendo did was dumb down Takahashi's vision, which is why I no longer expect anything meaningful from him as long as Monolith Soft is under their leash. |

The problem with your argument is that Takahashi's vision was just the concept of the game's world. Takeda was responsible for the scenario, though he got input from everyone at Monolith Soft.
Nintendo didn't dumb down anything. They did QA, not direction. Read the Iwata Asks article if you want to know more.

Now, I'm sure you disagree with that assessment, but I really don't care for debating the game's quality with you, so don't bother. |

I can't wait until this game comes out. I'm a big fan of monolith soft since Tetsuya Takahashi was at Square and made Xenogears, I have played all of his games, but this game brings back memories the time when I played Xenogears specially the robots(gears).

1. You said Takahashi couldn't have had a vision because he was only the director and not a writer. 2. I corrected you, pointing out he was indeed a writer, thus proving your assertion that he had no vision to be completely baseless. See? Simple stuff, really. Lol. Next time you want me to bite try bringing something beyond trolling 101. |

Indeed.
I may have mentioned it before, but I really REALLY hope this more like an open world Xenogears than Xenoblade. XG had most interesting story, world and cast of Xeno games even if the gameplay wasn't necessary the best. I also hope the X's combat is a little more involved and better balanced (no ridiculous level strengths thanks) than XB too. |

I didn't know this, though it sounds similar to how Reyn can get temporary buffs against stronger monsters.
